While I don't agree
While I don't agree with the general conclusion that the books are "so bad that they should be called works of art" I really don't have much sympathy for the writers at all. They are just good, talented, and great. But to his credit they have pulled off a good film, and I appreciated that.<br /><br />I think the acting was excellent. Martin Sheen is a great actor, but the script is very bad.
While I don't agree with the other reviewers on this site, I would have to say that the direction is awful. The acting is pretty bad. There are just so many things that just make it seem like a big waste of time. The film is basically a sort of "movie" with a few funny moments, but nothing really happens. The acting, which is terrible, is horrible too. The script is atrocious. The direction is atrocious
